Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 601 Super VCD

“Mr. Feng, good news, great news! ”

Feng Yu, keep your phone away from your ears. The good news is good news. What are you shouting at?

“What's the good news, Kang? What excites you so much?” Feng Yu asked. At the same time, there are hidden expectations. Is there finally a breakthrough in product technology?

“The MPEG-II technology we studied was successful!” Jiang Wan shouted excitedly.

“What did you say?” Feng Yu was a little furious.

“Just as you asked, with this coding technology, sound can reach four-channel stereos, more clarity and authenticity, and images can reach 350 wires, which is the highest resolution of the world's television. Most importantly, Mosaic is almost gone! ”

Mosaic, which is the degradation of the color scale details in a specific area of the image and disrupts the color block, looks like a small plaid, a bit like Mosaic tiles, and is therefore named.

Mosaic is an important issue that constrains the development of VCDs, which are clearer than regular videos, but the discs are too easily damaged, with little friction, they can easily become cachets, mosaics, etc., which makes the user experience poor.

In particular, domestic audio-visual agencies, video studios and other reactions, ordinary VCD discs, after several plays, easily appear in Mosaic. The more frequently it plays, the more frequently Mosaic appears.

Although Windstorm Electronics has introduced a disc repair solution, a water-soluble cleaning agent that removes stains from the surface of the disc and keeps the player unaffected when reading. A cleaning agent with an alkaline solvent and wax was later introduced, which is polishing the disc.

Polishing allows the disc with deep scratches to be read by the player, but after polishing the disc, it is easier to get damaged and is part of the cure.

If you can't get rid of Mosaic, try to minimize the frequency of Mosaic appearances, so Feng Yu remembers the super VCD of his past life, an alternative between VCD and DVD, and that's what happened, so that VCD family penetration can be further improved and video players can really be eliminated from the market.

Because of the MPEG-1 technology used on the earliest VCDs, the clarity is low, not to mention the choice of a single channel. Second-generation technology, with four channels, can give movie sounds a variety of choices, as well as the official launch of Chinese and English bilingual CD-ROMs, expanding the applicable market for CD-ROMs.

It also gives the VCD the ability to truly sing accompaniments, increasing the availability of VCD machines.

And this super VCD, which really suppresses the LD Big Disc, not only eliminates the video recorder, but also seriously threatens the status of the LD Big Disc, causing the LD Big Disc market to fail further.

Feng Yu has been asking Feng Yu Electronics and AIWA to work together on this technology, but it didn't occur to me that this technology was so successful so quickly.

Feng Yu remembers that Sony studied this technology successfully in his previous life, and then exchanged technology with Philips, which eventually set the original standard.

And the players that were originally produced according to this standard were not called super VCDs, but DVDs. That is, super VCDs and DVDs actually use a standard. It's just the storage of DVDs that goes beyond super VCDs.

Wasn't there a lot of people in the past life who discovered that some of your VCDs couldn't be played, and others could? That's because people have super VCDs that can read DVDs.

And one of the great benefits of this technology is that it has increased storage a few times, which means that on a disc, you can store a very clear movie without having to divide it into two episodes, so you don't have to watch the movie in half, and suddenly it's over, and you need to change the disc.

It also allows two CD-ROMs to store a concert, or more than twenty song MVs in one disc, which gives consumers more value for money and makes them more willing to buy a song CD-ROM.

Unconsciously, Feng Yu found out that he matched Sonny again. First, let AIWA defeat Sony's whispering, drastically shrinking the whispering business that would have made Sony a high profit. Then let AIWA launch a CD player to further capture Sony's market in the music player sector.

It also contributed to the breakdown between Nintendo and Sony, drastically shrinking Sony's gaming business. In order to recover their business, they had to invest heavily and set up a computer entertainment department to research and develop CD-ROM gaming consoles to counteract the Nintendo dominated gaming market.

If Feng Yu's memory is correct, Sony launched its first generation of Playstation, the famous PS console, at the end of this year. This is one of the most successful electronic products in the world after Walkman, setting a global sales record of over 100 million units!

Later, whether it was PSP, PS2, PS3, PS4, none of them were sought after, and every product, sales, was very pleasant.

This year was also a very productive year for Sony, and Sony was a very beautiful year in its previous life, but it was doomed to another tragedy in Sony's life. DVD technology doesn't belong to Sony anymore.

Feng Yu asked Jiang Wanzheng to contact Fu Guangzheng immediately, apply for technology patents worldwide, and then publish the specifications first, designating them as industry standards!

It has been said that first-class enterprises sell standards, second-class enterprises sell brands, third-class enterprises sell products, and fourth-class enterprises sell resources. Industry standards are seen as the most important symbol of an enterprise's status.

Patented technology can only play a protective role, but it does not prevent the other party from breaking the technology. Large companies such as Sony are perfectly capable of cracking the technology of storm electronics and conducting further research.

In previous life, this industry standard was also competitive for many years. Everyone had similar results, but different technologies, all wanted to be industry standards, including East China, HP, pioneer and other world-class electronics giants.

In the end, you find it pointless to fight each other, no one can defeat each other without loss, the two strong competition, once spelled out, may let others take advantage, and then shake hands to reconcile.

But when you look around, you start competing on the DVD burner, and then there's the DVD burning technique with multiple specifications.

But all my life, those giants have fallen behind. Who let VCDs come out first? They have innate advantages in technology R&D. And the giants, they're quite distracted, like Sony, they're studying PS, companies like Dong are studying digital cameras, and some companies are studying computers, and they can't focus on one thing.

Unlike Feng Yu Electronics, Feng Yu does not intend to involve Feng Yu Electronics in the computer business. He has a stake in it. As for digital cameras, the future is going to be a very big market, but at the moment, that resolution is simply not comparable to film cameras. Wait until pixels exceed one million before they are truly accepted by the market.

And by that time, it was the end of this century, and by that time, Windstorm Electronics would be able to exchange technology with others and get the technology they wanted.

Half a month later, Windstorm Electronics held a press conference in Beijing, released high-density multimedia CD format technologies and indicators, and stated that Windstorm Electronics has developed MPEG-II technology, and it is expected to launch a new generation of super VCDs by the end of this year!
